Congratulations on your purchase of the new patent pending HUM EXTRACTOR

™ + DECIMATOR 

G

™ pedal.  The HUM EXTDECIMATOR G™ pedal was designed to provide the ultimate 

sonic performance possible for removing line frequency hum components from an instrument signal.  
Guitar  and  Bass  instruments  are  susceptible  to  noise  intrusion  from  AC  line  frequency 
electromagnetic  fields.  This  kind  of  electromagnetic  interference  is  typically  picked  up  by  the 
instrument  pickups,  although  these  hum  frequency  components  can  also  be  injected  into  audio 
signals by bad cables or other means of  intrusion.  The fundamental hum component is at  the AC 
line  frequency  with  many  multiple  harmonically  related  components  above  the  fundamental 
frequency.  The line frequency is selectable for 60 hertz or 50 hertz operation.  Adjustments for HUM 
EXTRACTOR and DECIMATOR threshold settings plus the dynamic filter tracking are automatically 
stored  and  will  be  retained  on  power  off.      The  HUM  EXTRACTOR  +DECIMATOR  G  can  remove 
these hum components from the audio signal with amazing transparency reducing the requirement 
of the DECIMATOR single ended noise reduction to only have to work on gain noise and hiss.  The 
DECIMATOR  is  controlled  from  the  direct  instrument  input  allowing  the  noise  reduction  to  work 
perfectly  when  switching  between  high  gain  and  clean  settings.    The  DECIMATOR  block 
incorporates  ISP  Technologies  full  DECIMATOR  as  included  in  the  professional  ProRack  G  which 
includes  both  a  low  level  downward  expander  and  a  dynamic  sliding  low  pass  filter.  This  allows 
removal of high frequency hiss and noise while playing at full volume.  The combination of both the 
HUM EXTRACTOR and DECIMATOR provides the most effective noise reduction system available 
for eliminating virtually all noise from the input signal with incredible transparency.
